BTS has ranked first in a Billboard reader poll asking fans who should headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2027. According to the results shared on February 11, 2026, BTS received 84.12 percent of the total vote. The poll was created in response to fan interest for the next halftime performer ahead of Super Bowl LXI, which is scheduled to take place on February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
The options included several major global artists, such as BLACKPINK, Taylor Swift, Drake, Post Malone, Morgan Wallen, Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, and Jay-Z. However, BTS finished far ahead of the other candidates, showing strong international fan support. “Other” placed second, and BLACKPINK placed next with a much smaller share of the vote, followed by Taylor Swift and Drake. The results reflect continued interest in KPop acts as potential halftime performers, especially with BTS preparing a full-length album release and a global world tour in 2026.
The article also notes that Taylor Swift previously said in 2025 that she likely would not headline the halftime show while her fiancé, Travis Kelce, is still active in the NFL. Since 2019, Roc Nation, led by Jay Z, has been responsible for selecting the halftime performers. Although the final decision for 2027 has not been announced, the poll shows that fans are keeping their hopes up (and votes) for BTS.
